Below in conjunction with concrete execution mode, be explained in detail the handling process shown in Fig. 1, content can be as follows:
Step 101, obtains elliptically polarized light.
Wherein, elliptically polarized light is made up of two orthogonal linearly polarized lights of direction of vibration.
In force, the elliptically polarized light (according to the design feature of laser in silicon optical platform, its light beam generated is generally the elliptically polarized light of fixed wave length) of certain wavelength can be generated by laser.The handling process of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to the elliptically polarized light of the single wavelength that single laser generates, also can be applied to each elliptically polarized light in the elliptically polarized light of one group of different wave length, the elliptically polarized light of this group of different wave length can be generated by multiple laser (or a laser array) and be coupled to a waveguide through wavelength division multiplexer simultaneously.The elliptically polarized light of above-mentioned single wavelength, or any one elliptically polarized light in the elliptically polarized light of above-mentioned one group of different wave length, can be the elliptically polarized light that laser directly generates, also can be elliptically polarized light that laser generates carries out in the multiple elliptically polarized lights obtained after the beam splitting of space through beam splitter one.
Such as, laser array comprises n laser, launch the elliptically polarized light of n different wave length, each elliptically polarized light through the beam splitting of beam splitter space be m the identical elliptically polarized light of wavelength, in the elliptically polarized light of n different wave length, m is got for each elliptically polarized light and divides intrafascicular one, obtain the beam splitting of n different wave length, as the elliptically polarized light of one group of different wave length, m group elliptically polarized light can be obtained like this, for often organizing elliptically polarized light, can be coupled in a waveguide by wavelength division multiplexer, as a spatial channel, m group elliptically polarized light is coupled in m waveguide respectively.
The handling process of the embodiment of the present invention, the processing procedure for different spaces passage is identical, and the present embodiment carries out the detailed description of scheme for a spatial channel.
Step 102, carries out polarization beam splitting to elliptically polarized light, obtains the orthogonal First Line polarised light of direction of vibration and the second linearly polarized light that form elliptically polarized light.
Concrete, the process of this step can be: by birefringece crystal, carries out polarization beam splitting to elliptically polarized light, obtains the orthogonal First Line polarised light of direction of vibration and the second linearly polarized light that form elliptically polarized light.
Wherein, birefringece crystal has anisotropic crystal, can be decomposed into two light beams along different directions refraction after light beam enters birefringece crystal, birefringece crystal can be positive crystal also can be negative crystal, as the section of calcite, quartz, mica etc. or crystal etc.Here except adopting birefringece crystal, micro-ring etc. can also be adopted to carry out polarization beam splitting.It is First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light that elliptically polarized light carries out polarization beam splitting after refracting interface, wherein, the vibration vector of a linearly polarized light is perpendicular to the plane of incidence, the vibration vector of a linearly polarized light is in the plane of incidence, and the plane of incidence refers to the determined plane of normal of incident light (elliptically polarized light) and refracting interface.
In force, the elliptically polarized light obtained in above-mentioned steps can be imported the micro-polarization beam apparatus of birefringece crystal, the First Line polarised light then obtained by polarization beam splitting and the second linearly polarized light import different waveguides respectively.
Step 103, carries out transfer of data using First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light as carrier wave respectively.
In force, using First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light respectively as a carrier wave, Data Modulation and digital independent can be carried out respectively on two carrier waves.Can arrange different light channel structures according to the demand of reality, to realize transfer of data, this step can have multiple concrete processing method accordingly, following present the processing method under several different light paths structure:
Method 1
First, First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light are imported two modulation waveguides respectively as carrier wave, carries out Data Modulation.
Wherein, modulation waveguide is the waveguide for carrying out Data Modulation, and modulation waveguide can arrange one or more modulator.
For each core in processor, can modulator be set, modulator is arranged in waveguide, can on the carrier wave that its operation wavelength is corresponding modulating data, it can be the modulator of the different IPs selection different operating wavelength in same waveguide, the wavelength of corresponding different carrier respectively, can think that each core in same waveguide arranges specific for sending the carrier wave of data respectively, can be one or more carrier wave.
Above-mentioned two modulation waveguides can be respectively the first modulation waveguide and the second modulation waveguide.If carry out the process of step 101-103 to the elliptically polarized light of one group of different wave length simultaneously, each elliptically polarized light can be carried out the linearly polarized light that polarization beam splitting obtains and import the first modulation waveguide, and another linearly polarized light is all imported the second modulation waveguide.First modulation waveguide can arrange the modulator of multiple core, and the operation wavelength of each modulator can be respectively the wavelength of each elliptically polarized light.Second modulation waveguide also can arrange the modulator of multiple core, and the operation wavelength of each modulator can be respectively the wavelength of each elliptically polarized light.Two modulators in different modulating waveguide can have identical operation wavelength.
Then, by importing at least one detection waveguide through the First Line polarised light of Data Modulation and the second linearly polarized light, digital independent is carried out.
Wherein, detection waveguide is the waveguide for carrying out digital independent, and detection waveguide can arrange one or more detector.Demodulation multiplexer can be provided with in detector.
For each core in processor, can arrange detector, detector is arranged in waveguide, and detector can detect the light wave of each carrier wavelength and each direction of vibration, and then reads the data on all light waves.Because detector can distinguish the direction of vibration of light wave, so the First Line polarised light can distinguished through Data Modulation and the second linearly polarized light.
The number of detection waveguide can be one or more, in this step, the First Line polarised light through Data Modulation is imported all detection waveguides, the second linearly polarized light through Data Modulation is also imported all detection waveguides simultaneously.The detector of each core of processor can be separately positioned in a detection waveguide in each detection waveguide, such as, have 4 cores, two detection waveguides, the detector of two cores is arranged in one of them detection waveguide, and the detector of two other core is arranged in another detection waveguide.
As shown in Figure 2, for the structural representation of certain processor, wherein, corresponding each core is provided with switch (switch), and multistage waveguide is connected by switch and forms the first modulation waveguide, the second modulation waveguide, the first detection waveguide and the second detection waveguide respectively, in addition, also a switch can be set corresponding multiple core, such as, correspondence each bunch (being made up of multiple core, as 4*4) arranges a switch.First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light can import the first modulation waveguide and the second modulation waveguide respectively, first modulation waveguide imports the first detection waveguide and the second detection waveguide at port one place, the second modulation waveguide also imports the first detection waveguide and the second detection waveguide at port one place.The end of the first detection waveguide and the second detection waveguide can be provided with absorber, can not be communicated with, like this, can absorb remaining light wave, prevent interference with other waveguide.At port one place, the first modulation waveguide and the second modulation waveguide can not be interconnected.
Method 2
Respectively First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light are imported target annulus waveguide as carrier wave, in target annulus waveguide, carry out Data Modulation and digital independent.
Wherein, target annulus waveguide can be arbitrary disc waveguide.Processor each checks the modulator of answering and detector can be arranged in target annulus waveguide.
Preferably, in method 2, the elliptically polarized light that laser generates is the elliptically polarized light of pulsed, and lasting duration and the interval duration of pulse can be arranged according to demand.Simultaneously, at each modulator place, can absorber be set, for absorbing this linearly polarized light along during target annulus waveguide one week at the linearly polarized light through these modulators modulate data, stop this linearly polarized light again to enter this modulator, thus can prevent this linearly polarized light from producing interference to unmodulated linearly polarized light.Absorber can arrange and all absorb the light wave in predetermined wavelength, predetermined vibration direction, and does not absorb the light wave of other wavelength or direction of vibration.Absorber is set simultaneously at discontinuous MODE of operation, by lasting duration and the interval duration (not operating time) of the work of calculating and setting absorber, the transmission linearly polarized light of a week is stoped again to enter this modulator to enable absorber, and quit work when there being newly-generated linearly polarized light pulse to arrive, make this linearly polarized light pulse can enter modulator by absorber.
In method 2, the mode that First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light import target annulus waveguide can be had a variety of, selection can be carried out according to the demand of reality and arrange, following present the preferred process mode of two kinds of methods 2:
Method 2.1
First, delay transport process is carried out to First Line polarised light or the second linearly polarized light.
In force, delay transport process can be carried out by the light channel structure shown in Fig. 3, this light channel structure comprises a longer waveguide and shorter waveguide is parallel arranges, wherein comparatively long wave is led as time delay waveguide, a linearly polarized light in First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light can be imported time delay waveguide, to carry out delay transport process to this linearly polarized light, another linearly polarized light is imported shorter waveguide.
Then, respectively First Line polarised light is imported target annulus waveguide with the second linearly polarized light as carrier wave along identical transmission direction, in described target annulus waveguide, carry out Data Modulation and digital independent.
In force, First Line polarised light successively can import target annulus waveguide in identical position with the second linearly polarized light, as shown in Figure 3, and First Line polarised light can import along identical direction with the second linearly polarized light, is all clockwise direction or is all counterclockwise as direction.Absorber can be arranged on modulator incident side.
In addition, First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light also successively can import target annulus waveguide in different positions, at a distance of predeterminable range between the position of two linearly polarized light importings, can this predeterminable range be rationally set, causes interference to make can not overlap between First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light.
Method 2.2
Respectively First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light are imported target annulus waveguide as carrier wave along contrary transmission direction, in target annulus waveguide, carry out Data Modulation and digital independent.
In force, First Line polarised light can import target annulus waveguide in identical position with the second linearly polarized light, also can import target annulus waveguide in different positions.The time point of two linearly polarized light importing target annulus waveguide can be the same or different, and preferably, calculate, two linearly polarized lights can be made simultaneously to import target annulus waveguide in order to simplify the operation, conveniently.The position of target annulus waveguide is imported according to First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light, can determine that the position range disturbed occurs in target annulus waveguide for First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light, as shown in Figure 4, when arranging each modulator, can by the position be arranged on outside this position range of modulator, because modulator generally can not distinguish the linearly polarized light that wavelength is identical and direction of vibration is different, so process can prevent First Line polarised light and the second linear polarization from mutually disturbing like this.
In method 2.2, two absorbers can be set corresponding each modulator, two absorbers are corresponding with First Line polarised light and the second linear polarization respectively, be respectively used to absorb First Line polarised light and the second linear polarization, the absorber of corresponding First Line polarised light is positioned at the incident side of First Line polarised light to modulator, and the absorber of corresponding second linearly polarized light is positioned at the incident side of the second linearly polarized light to modulator.Visible, two absorbers lay respectively at the both sides of this modulator.
Except method 2.1 and method 2.2, method 2 also has other multiple processing mode, such as, First Line polarised light and the second linearly polarized light can be imported target annulus waveguide along equidirectional at diverse location simultaneously.For these processing modes, be not repeated at this.
